I have just started railway modelling and have got myself a Hornby DCC Freight Kit, I've got the loop made up as instructed and that works absolutely fine.
The problem I have is when I put a set of points in and switch them over to get the train on the other track, it just dies, which I assume is due to the current not getting through.
I read in the manual that I need to make the points "live" which I assume is what is going wrong here.
I've been to a local model shop to get some of the clips that it says I need but managed to come back with the wrong bit due to a misunderstanding with the shop keeper.
I've tried just bridging the gap with some of the spare track connector/isolators but to no avail.
Obviously what I need is the right bit, but I can't get to the local model shop until next week now, is there anything I can do with bits about the home to get it working?
TIA
Dmitri
